Marriage is the golden ring in a chain whose
beginning is a glance and whose ending is Eternity.
~ Kahlil Gibran ~
Beautiful words by a wise man who sees marriage not as something that holds someone back, but as an eternal bond that grows throughout every year – enhancing each person’s individual traits while remainign strong together. We admit that at Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort, we tend to be romantics.
We know people have so many reasons to travel in Tuscany, perhaps they are enamored with the culture, the history, the food, looking for a perfect place to just rewind from life or maybe they came here for work – in any case we know that travel has the ability to make a person feel truly free. We are always curious to know what brings people to Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort and more importantly, what travel really means to them.

On Sunday, June 27th will be a very special dining event at our Restaurant L’Olivaia, our chef will embark on a taste journey combining three very interesting elements, namely Olive-Oil, beer and Tuscan Tradition. Both beer and olive oil have a long and deep tradition in European cuisine, with each country cultivating their own versions of excellence. While it might seem strange to combine them in the kitchen, the surprise is how well they actually go together given the right palate.
Our foodie philosophy at Villa Campestri Olive-Oil resort is using olive-oil as our gastronomic center. Rather than try and include everything on the menu, we try and focus on dishes we do best, with an innovative and fresh twist from our young & very talented chef.

At Villa Campestri any number of stories can be told, we try to share what we love about our hideaway in the Mugello Valley and hope that those who come visit feel the same way. Since the birth of social networks, we have been extremely fortunate to get a first hand glimpse at how our […]
